Rhetorical question, isn't it? Very Happy

Wonderful result, Orio. Creamy bokeh, wonderful light, thin DOF - a piece of art. I would never ever sell my Helios40 and I think you also wouldn't do this. Even if my wife asks "you have to decide between your lens and me!"... *ooops* ... Yvonne, please stay, it was a joke! Shocked

Orio,
What a terrible picture! Absolute waste of money to have it defungused Wink Just send the lens to me for proper disposal, thanks. Laughing

Yes, it's a gorgeous pic, shot wide open. Hallmark is waiting for your phone call! Very Happy
